The prince is very cruel

"Brothers on the other side, do you also want to fight to the bitter end and die? Your reinforcements have been slaughtered to a bloody pulp and cannot join you!"

Wu Zhu's expression changed drastically when he heard this: "You bastard, stop trying to disrupt the morale of our army!"

Guan Ning didn't waste any words and just waved his hand.

Swish swish!

A large number of militiamen continued to charge out, densely packed, surrounding the dock, and dense Zhuge crossbows were aimed at the enemy.

"Ah!" The remaining soldiers of Xiliang were shocked and looked uneasy. So many people?

Wu Zhu's face gradually became ugly.

"Wu Zhu, your army is surrounded. The reinforcements were killed by my troops and are now in a bloody mess. There is no more support!"

"Do you think I'm going to disrupt your army's morale?"

"Hmph, ha!!" The militiamen from the nine camps roared angrily, their voices shaking the heavens. They all drew their weapons and advanced forward.

The more than 700 elite soldiers from Xiliang seemed so powerless and insignificant at this moment. Because they were traveling by water, they didn't even bring their war horses, which resulted in their combat effectiveness being reduced by half.

They had been ambushed in various ways along the way and were already exhausted and demoralized. Now they were surrounded. It was visibly visible that the soldiers' hands were shaking as they kept retreating.

Wu Zhu gritted his teeth and still refused to surrender. He knew that if he surrendered, his 4,000 troops would be wiped out and he would die if he returned.

"Brothers, they are just a group of militia, don't be afraid!"

"My Xiliang army is unrivaled in the world!"

"As long as you win this battle, high positions and generous salaries are waiting for you!"

"If we lose, we will also be tried by military court when we return!"

"Listen to my command and form a battle line!" His voice was hysterical, but it was indeed effective. When the more than 700 elite soldiers heard the words "martial law", the fear in their eyes became even greater. They would rather die in battle than go back and be tried by military law.

Wow!

More than 700 people moved quickly and gradually organized a formation that could attack or defend. Spears were in front, swords were behind, shields were standing in rows, and it was a black mass. A solemn and murderous aura instantly emerged.

Including Nie Nan, all the high-ranking officials of the Shu government frowned. Although they had already gained the upper hand at this point, they still did not dare to be careless against the elite troops of Xiliang that swept across the Central Plains, and waited for Guan Ning's further orders.

Guan Ning's black hair danced and his eyes were like lightning.

If he had been in his old temper, he would have just started killing people indiscriminately, but now he was shouldering the responsibility of the entire Shu area, and he didn't want an old mother to come to him and ask for her child as soon as he returned to Bashan.

So he still didn't want to fight head-on, but it was obvious that Wu Zhu would not surrender. As long as he, the general, was there, the Xiliang soldiers would not surrender.

Just when the fight was about to break out, he suddenly had an idea.

"Wu Zhu!"

"Why should we send our own men to their deaths?"

"How about we fight one-on-one?"

When these words were spoken, both sides were in an uproar. One-on-one fight?

Wu Zhu's eyes were cold, and he immediately thought Guan Ning was going to play some tricks again, so he refused directly: "Humph, if you are scared, just say it!"

"Do you think this general doesn't know about your conspiracy?"

Guan Ning curled his lips and stretched out his hand, saying, "One on one, that's fair."

"You are a general of Xiliang. Are you afraid of a peasant like me?"

"Would I be afraid of you?" Wu Zhu sneered, the scar at the corner of his eye making him look fierce.

"Isn't it over then?"

"Do you dare? Just one word!"

"I am now officially challenging you!" Guan Ning raised his head, full of provocation.

Nie Nan seemed to have guessed Guan Ning's intention and said, "With two armies facing each other, the commander dare not come out."

Huangfu Protector also said: "That's right, everyone says that Xiliang's soldiers are strong and powerful, but I think they are all cowards!"

"This person is a coward!"

"I'm afraid he is no match for the lord."

"Rat!"

Wu Zhu's face turned red as she heard one taunt after another.

"Shut up!!"

"Who said this general is afraid?" He shouted angrily, but he had to do so. In the era of cold weapons, it was common for two armies to face off against each other and for the main generals to confront each other.

Once they become cowardly, morale will be hit, and it will be difficult for the commander to gain the support of the people and gain a foothold.

Moreover, under such provocation from the Shu Mansion's top leaders, Wu Zhu also became angry.
